Braves had a lot of starters so I knew we would trade one eventually. I don't know anything about him, but his #s def aren't jumping out at me.

Money move in principle but with a good upside. Walden was the Halos primary closer in 2011 but last year he wasn't that great. Anyway, he's ~25 with a really high AVG fastball speed (I believe is around 97). Way better RHP signing than Linebrink, Proctor, or Durbin. He is still in arb year so his cost would be around 550K while Hanson is set to make 4M. The move leaves the Braves with 13.5M left to sign(or trade for) a LF, fill the bench spots and(or) extend some of the current guys. Great move by Wren.

I like the trade for the Braves. Walden in the 7th, Venters 8th and Kimbrel 9th is about as solid as you will get this year.

Hanson had a down year but he is still a nice #2 or great #3 in any rotation. With the Angels losing Haren and Santana, they needed this
